Ontario Government (Conservative majority), 2025-29

[Retired AF Guy]

From the above article:

Stiles used the last Question Period of the year to continue to hammer the government on the Skills Development Fund, a $2.5 billion jobs fund that has been under a cloud over how money was doled out.

The auditor general found the process was not fair, transparent or accountable, and that Labour Minister David Piccini’s office overrode bureaucrats, elevating lower-scoring applications above others.

Some one playing favourites?

The Liberals meanwhile repeated their call for the government to sell off its stash of U.S. booze. The products have been in storage after being pulled from LCBO shelves in March over the U.S. trade war.

In storage for almost eight months and may be reaching their expiry date, after which the booze would have to be poured down the drain. At least the folks out in the Maritimes are selling their stuff to raise money for charities.

How does Bourbon or Vodka go bad?

How does Bourbon or Vodka go bad?

Beer, spirits and wines all have "best before dates." The question is what are those "best before dates?"

 

[Fishbone Jones]

Beer and wine will go bad. Liqueur can go bad due to the amount of sugar and flavourings.

Liquor (rum, vodka, whisky, whiskey, etc) left sealed will last almost forever. Once opened and depending on the spirit, it doesn’t really go bad, per se. Different liquors will change taste and lose potency (alcohol) due to evaporation, over different periods of time. Stored in dark, cool cabinets helps slow this process. Liquor will continue to age and change while still in barrels. Once it's bottled, it stops aging.
